question then with these all in one programs i use to use one myself back in the old windows days ( of course not anymore seing as how mac has taken over my life) but i remember it wouldnt upload your contacts to their respect servers..has that been changed now or does these other applications have that abilty ?

*laugh* Oh come on! I wouldn't mind switching if what you say is true, so give me some examples because I would love to know since the last time I tried it, it was extremely basic, and I couldnt even combine accounts within it.. and that was only a couple months ago. So please tell me how it is better, with specific, so that way I know if it is worth trying out again
